Sheesh, it's not like the Karate Kid and his guru: "Ooh, I can't do it". 50+ years ago, when I was living on the coast, I decided I was going to fly fish for steelhead and salmon. Bought a cheap Eagle Claw glass rod and sinking line, tied some flies based on patterns in books. and went at it. Didn't look around for some "expert" to hold my hand, but reading Haigh-Brown's "Western Angler" did help. "Practiced" while FISHING and achieved good success. Mucking around "practicing" to achieve "perfection" is a waste of good time.
